Feeling Kylie Minogue’s ‘tension,’ Niki’s ‘buzz’
After almost 14 years, pop icon Kylie Minogue is set to hold court in Manila anew on March 17, 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Presented by Live Nation Philippines (LNPH), the show is part of the singer’s upcoming “Tension” world tour, which will kick off in her native Australia in February.
The series of shows was put up in support of Minogue’s two most recent albums, “Tension” and “Tension II,” which spawned the singles “Padam Padam” and “Lights, Camera, Action,” respectively. Tickets are now on sale at SM Tickets.
“It has been an exhilarating ride so far. And now, get ready for your close up, because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action … and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!” the singer, referencing her recent releases, said in a statement.
“I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world,” added Minogue, the voice behind such enduring dance hits as “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” and “In Your Eyes.”
Two-night concert
Meanwhile, it seems like Filipino fans can’t get enough of the rising Indonesian artist Niki, who’s returning to the SM Mall of Asia Arena for a two-night show on Feb. 11 and Feb. 12, 2025—just over a year since her last.
“I’m so proud of this show and I can’t wait to share with everyone,” she said of her ongoing “Buzz” world tour in a statement.
There will be a presale opportunity of LNPH website members on Nov. 25, before tickets go on general sale the next day, Nov. 26, also at SM Tickets.
Niki is expected to deliver a more expansive set list, which will include songs from “Buzz”—the singer-songwriter’s third album, which captures “the feeling of being on the precipice of discovery across 13 introspective tracks.”
The singer, who rose to international fame in 2021 via her smash hit “Every Summertime,” added: “I love you. I can’t tell you how excited I am to play new music for you.”
